Chapter 656 Journey to the Desert

Zhao Ming paused, and then added: "And this piece of agate on the market is probably as high as one million." ”

Qin Lang cast an amazed gaze and shook his head incredulously, "How do you know so much?" It seems that he has been really working hard recently, otherwise he would be able to answer such a profound question.

"Indeed, as you say now, this piece is worth millions of dollars in the market. And when my father got it, his value at that time was only about 100,000 yuan, but with the passage of time and people more and more understanding of this, its price is getting higher and higher in just a few decades. ”

"And in our day and age, there are a lot of antique lovers who buy an agate stone and store it at home. It is said that the treasure connoisseur with the same name and surname as you Zhao Ming also collected a lot of agate stones at home. ”

When did he collect agate stones, and why is he not clear about this?

"Really?" Zhao Ming lowered his head and smiled helplessly. Who started to spread the news, he collected a lot of agate.

"How do you know this?" Qin Lang was really curious.

"Zhao Ming is also a famous treasure connoisseur, and now I have a certain understanding of other aspects except for his appearance. ”

Zhao Ming found that once Su Yuelan talked about the knowledge of treasure appreciation, she began to talk endlessly, and she also had a lot of opinions. When talking about these, the charm she exudes is very different.

"If you want to collect agate, I'm afraid he must have a lot of money. I guess that this treasure master Zhao Ming is definitely a wealthy man, otherwise how could he have so much money to invest here?

Qin Lang could imagine the picture of their rich people in his mind, and he squandered them at will today.

Zhao Ming's brows tightened slightly, "Put away your thoughts full of rich people, not everyone is the same as you imagined, because he is a rich man, so he can buy such expensive things." Behind this, you don't know how hard the other person has worked to improve your life. ”

Over the years, he has achieved what he is today through his own efforts. Moreover, the fact that his family has collected a large number of agate is unrealistic, and he is not as luxurious and extravagant as everyone says.

Qin Lang was dumbfounded by his words, and said helplessly: "I'm just talking like that, why is your reaction so big?"

"I'm just telling you the facts. Let your stupid brain have a longer memory, don't always suspect that others are the sons of the rich, although there are many rich people in this world, but not everyone is the son of the rich, most people get what they need through their own efforts. Just like you now, you want to know about treasure appreciation, so you follow us to discuss. ”

Su Yuelan agreed with him very much, "I think what Zhao Ming said is very right, not everyone in this world is rich, it's just that everyone makes themselves go to a higher step through their own efforts and their own wisdom." If you want to stand on the top, then you should work hard. ”

"That's the end of the conversation, let's get back to Agate. In ancient times, they often saw strings of agate in their burial tombs, and those who had a little money in the family would be buried together after the death of their owner. ”

"It's just that in that dynasty, the ancient craftsmanship couldn't be compared with our current machine polishing. Trying to polish it smooth by hand is time-consuming and labor-intensive. And no matter how hard they tried, the agate could never be polished and smooth. But after years of torture, and still from ancient times, his shelves are generally around five to seven figures. ”

Each piece of natural agate is like a breathing stone, although its breathability is very weak, but when you put it in water, you can see that it will be filled with a layer of water droplets.

But now, not all agate is as expensive as everyone thinks, and some are slightly cheaper, but its material is certainly not as expensive as much.

"Then what should we pay attention to when we want to buy agate?" Qin Lang asked very puzzled.

This time, Zhao Ming slowly opened his mouth and told him, "A good piece of agate can shine in the sun." But if it's night, you can use a flashlight to shine on it, the texture of its inside and outside, and when a beam of light shines in, the beam around it will become very clear and concentrated, in this case, it is generally a good agate. He even turned the book to the page on how to identify agate.

"Qin Lang, I happened to finish reading this book, now I'll give it to you, take a good look at it when you go back, you will have a lot of ideas after reading it, and you will understand a little bit in this aspect. ”

However, everyone can only judge according to his situation after seeing the real thing, and if you can become a treasure connoisseur just by looking at the book, it is a whimsical thing.

After Qin Lang saw this book, he was completely silent. He sighed heavily, rather helpless, and looked at the two of them, "Are you sure you want to finish such a thick book?"

"It took me three weeks to read it all, and I'm sure you're so good that you can do it. ”

In fact, Zhao Ming has read a lot of books about gemstones, and in this book, most of the content is something he has read, so he has read it roughly. If you really want to comprehend, even if it takes half a year, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish this book completely.

"It's not too late now, everyone should hurry back to where they live, if there is anything they don't understand or something, we will discuss it together tomorrow. ”

The next day, Su Yuelan specially borrowed a lot of information about the desert from the library, so in the next few days, the three of them almost did not leave the door, their attention was on the books, all of them were attentive and meticulous.

Three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go to the desert.

In addition to the things that need to be eaten, as well as some daily necessities, everyone brings almost all of them. However, there is a little bit of luggage, which makes the process a little slow. Then in the desert, it was not as simple as everyone imagined, but after a while, everyone began to sweat profusely from the sun, and frantically poured water into their mouths.

Almost in a matter of hours, nearly half of the water had been drunk into the stomach. However, there is an endless desert in front of them, and there is no water source around it.

"Su Yuelan, I really don't understand why you brought two idiots with you, I don't know that our water source is limited, wouldn't it cause us trouble with these two burdens?" Because the man, who seemed to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old, glanced at Zhao Ming and the two beside her impatiently, and said with great disgust.

They really couldn't understand that Zhao Ming and Qin Lang were simply idiots in the treasure appreciation world, what was the purpose of bringing these two people together? Or was there some ulterior secret between them?

Su Yuelan was domineering, looking at him with a burst of anger, "Take them with you or not, it's my business that has nothing to do with you, and the water in your hand now is also brought by me, if you really mind, then please spit out the water and don't drink it again." ”

She didn't mind the people who brought them here for two years, anyway, they didn't mind first, and this sentence is true.

"What are you talking about now? We're all grasshoppers on a rope now, do you have to make our relationship so stiff? And if it weren't for the teacher arranging for us to be with you, would you really think we'd want to be with you and the two idiots next to you!"

"I don't know anything about this, and I still think that I can find gems in this desert and learn to appreciate treasures. I'm telling you to give up early, because you're so old now, and your memory is not good, so it probably won't take you twenty or thirty years to learn. So it's better to have self-knowledge early and learn something else. ”

"Your appearance in the past two months is simply a shame for our treasure appreciation world, in order not to trouble our reputation as cheap, you two should quit as soon as possible. ”

“……”

All sorts of nasty words began to go crazy towards the two of them. Su Yuelan wanted to refute it at first, but was pulled by Zhao Ming on the side. After all, the mouth grows on the other party, and arguing with a group of mentally handicapped people will only reduce their IQ.

As soon as the two of them spoke, all of a sudden, the people around him began to echo him, wanting to completely drive the two away by blowing, and let them see their own shortcomings.

Zhao Ming responded disapprerovingly: "If we don't know how to appreciate treasures, we won't bother you." Hurry up and take care of yourselves, find the gem from here and leave this desert as soon as possible. If you don't mind running out of water for a while, you can continue to talk and scold. ”

Indeed, in the middle of a desert, and under such a hot sun, as long as you open your mouth, you can feel thirsty, and you will only keep talking, and you will only feel more and more dry mouth, and you can't help but drink more water.

"Let's go, let's go in this direction first and see if there is any water around. "I don't know why, I feel that Zhao Ming has always wanted to take this path. It was as if some kind of surprise awaited him in front of him.

"Zhao Ming, look at you, this is the consequence of your lack of effort! You were scolded and even scolded with me, and the two of us are really pitiful. ”

"If you don't want to be scolded, you don't always say that you want to learn treasure appreciation, but you have never been seen working hard. Either you just get serious and prove that it's okay for all of them to see you. Zhao Ming told him very seriously.

Now the situation is just like he was at the beginning, he was never favored at first, and almost everyone came to ridicule him for not being able to succeed. And it turns out he did. Although now he hides his identity, thinking that he will not mix in anything with this group of people who know a little, and has been ridiculed by them and not favored, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

"Then why didn't you prove it to them, but I?"

"Because I'm a treasure connoisseur myself, I'm not fit to leak out. Of course, Zhao Ming didn't say anything wrong with this, but he was secretly slandering in his heart.
